Match Thread Aston Villa vs Everton. Saturday 14th August 12:30 KO

[superkeeper]

City played an entire season without a striker and won the league. It can be done if the rest of the team functions at a high level. We're extremely sloppy in possession.

Fair point, but at the same time, even they’ve gone and brought a striker in who’s more clinical than the players that they’ve got at present.

Don’t even get me started on our ball retention though

Gray really is useless

Come on Everton! Let's get back into this.

McNeil is dire

Will struggle to get back £20m.

 

[Kantareller]

Corners seem to be the only way forward. Feeling harsh slating Gordon not playing in his natural position but he's wasted as CF, offers nothing there and we don't look like scoring.

 

[atypicalusername]

Iwobi please don't switch off.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Lampard is failing us.

I would begin with Moshiri and the Board before blaming Frank, they sold Richy and DCL is out, but still no replacement upfront, we need money for a forward ASAP

 

[davek]

Club’s fault for not backing him

...and him for not standing form on the Richarlison sale before a new attacker arrived.

Feels like grey and Gordon have conceded possession every time they’ve had it. So poor.

 

[MikeH72]

How much did we pay for McNeil up front? Can we still sell him?

 

[ToffeeScot]

This is dreadful.

 

[Nyhus]

No changes?!! I dont know what to say. Understand not wanting to affect player confidence, but we cannot keep playing with Gordon as a striker. He cant shoot or head the ball, he's small and weak. Might have to go lay in my dogs tiny pool while drinking, this is torture.

...and him for not standing form on the Richarlison sale before a new attacker arrived.

He had to be sold before 1st July for P&L

 

[james2805]

I honestly don't think the front 3 have kept the ball in attacking third even once in the whole game

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Iwobi has started this half badly
